There's no steel on the factory line No crops in the field No singing on the stage Yeah, we know how you feel There's a thousand empty classrooms Broken glass in the streets Old Glory hanging on houses We're not supposed to leave
It may feel Lady Liberty is down on her luck But when you hit rock bottom the only way is up
There's a light after darkness that burns so sweet There's a calm after the storm when we're off our knees From the wreckage, there's a reckoning, that's where we'll meet It's an underdog story the whole world will see And the only good thing about getting knocked down Is the comeback when it comes back around
We've got heroes on the front line Working hundred-hour weeks That run towards the danger Saving strangers like me There's no more beds In the hospital wings Where loved ones fly away No last goodbye as they leave
It may feel like Lady Liberty is down on her luck But when you hit rock bottom, only way is up
There's a light after darkness that burns so sweet There's a calm after the storm when we're off our knees From the wreckage there's a reckoning that's where we'll meet It's an underdog story the whole world will see And the only good thing about getting knocked down Is the comeback when it comes back around
In the red, white and blue, it's time for all different colors To break the chain of indifference and serve one another For the future of our children, a new American dream For the future of our children, a new American dream Yeah
There's a light after darkness that burns so sweet There's a calm after the storm when we're off our knees From the wreckage there's a reckoning That's where we'll meet It's an underdog story the whole world will see
